Nearly all of the docs in our clinic wear our hospital scrubs to see patients. Some wear a white coat, I don't. Some wear their military uniform (including combat boots) to see patients.

What do others wear in private practice?

i havent worn a white coat since i was chief resident 14 years ago. usually its scrubs or on fridays before games a notre dame sweatshirt and scrub pants. the scope around the neck lends some respectability. its the PA's who wear the white coats in the hospital. the fewer credentials lend to more formal attire.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
